I guess not many folks will be familiar with 60's soul singer, Baby Huey. He died aged just 26, back in 1970 from a drug related heart attack. But although his talents and potential weren't fully recognized while he was alive, his posthumous and only album, 'The Baby Huey story - The Living Legend,' went on to influence a Hip Hop generation, plus gain a cult following among DJ's, and soul & funk purists.
Anyway, I noticed that there weren't many portraits or illustrations of him on the net, and felt it my duty to contribute lol. I hope I did the big guy justice, and I hope you guys like what you see.
Very honoured to say that this piece won 1st place in Facebook's Caricaturama Showdown 3000. For those that don't know, CS3000 is a very popular weekly competition within the caricature art community. Some of the best of the best sometimes take the time to contribute, so for little old me to actually win it, is an amazing feeling. Plus reassuring to my sensitive artist ego lol.
Pulp Fiction....... Still my favourite movie of all time, and Jules Winnfield is still up there as one of my all time favourite characters.... A portrait was way long overdue! Hope I did him justice.
Not really a caricature this time. Didn't want there to be any traces of humour on this one... The aim was just to capture the character's aura of evil.
Wanted to take a little break from the digital art and shake off some of the rust with a good old pencil sketch. It really has been awhile.
Not entirely happy with the finished result, but still thought I'd share.
Randomly ended up watching a very cool documentary about her, a few days ago.... For those that might not know, Josephine was kinda like the Beyonce/Rihanna of her day, and definitely one of the first black superstars.
If you're peeping, I hope you like what you see. :)
